Watch Kesha finally get to sing her heart out at the Billboard Music Awards
Kesha, in her finest Gram Parsons-inspired nudie suit emblazoned with sequined broken hearts, rainbows and roses, sang a heartfelt cover of "It Ain't Me Babe" at the Billboard Music Awards.
After a rocky road to the awards ceremony, Kesha's stripped down Bob Dylan tribute somehow became the most controversial performance of the night.

Kesha was accompanied by Ben Folds, who performed the song with her this past week as part of the encore of his recent Los Angeles concert.
When the song was over, she simply clasped her hands and bowed her head as a silent thank you to her supporters.
